A suicide bomber killed Syria's top Sunni cleric. At least 42 other people died as the bomber blew himself up in a Damascus mosque. The death of the 84-year-old cleric, Sheik Mohammad Saeed Ramadan al-Bouti, delivers a blow to the regime as he was one of the few high-ranking Sunnis who vocally supported President Bashar al-Assad's Alawite rule. An early U.S. assessment of an attack in Aleppo found no evidence chemical or biological weapons were used.
